We are delighted to welcome you to Impact! - the BCSC Conference & Showcase, the retail property industry’s learning and deal-making event of the year. The Sage Gateshead is the backdrop to this year’s event – one that is sure to push the boundaries in terms of the number and range of delegates and exhibitors taking part, as well as the quality and profile of our speakers.

Our industry impacts people and their lives: their needs, wants, aspirations, and esteem; their pleasure, leisure, interests and fun, their environment and space; inclusiveness and opportunities; employment and learning. The theme this year is the positive impact that our industry can have on the communities in which we trade, and the positive changes that we can make to help underpin sustainable environments for shopping, working and living.

If you are serious and passionate about what you do - and we know you are! – the BCSC Conference & Showcase is the place to be to hear from world-class leaders and do your best deals.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Peter Drummond BCSC Conference Chairman Chief Executive, BDP
